Purchaser Responsibilities
The work and materials required to prepare the site are the responsibility of the purchaser. To avoid
delay, complete all pre-installation work before delivery. Use the Pre-installation Check List (provided
in
to verify that all the required steps have been completed.
Purchaser responsibilities include:
•
Procuring the required materials.
•
Completing the preparations prior to delivery of the ultrasound system.
•
Paying the costs of any alterations and modifications not specifically provided for in the sales
contract.
NOTE:
All relevant preliminary electrical installations at the prepared site must be performed by
licensed electrical contractors. Other connections between electrical equipment, and
calibration and testing, must also be performed by qualified personnel. The products involved
(and the accompanying electrical installations) are highly sophisticated and special engineering
competence is required. All electrical work on these products must comply with the
requirements of applicable electrical codes. The purchaser of GE equipment must utilize only
qualified personnel to perform electrical servicing of the equipment.
To avoid delays during installation, the individual or team who will perform the installation should be
notified at the earliest possible date (preferably prior to installation), of the existence of any of the
following variances:
•
Use of any non-listed product(s).
•
Use of any customer provided product(s).
•
Placement of an approved product further from the system than the interface kit allows.
The prepared site must be clean prior to delivery of the system. Carpeting is not recommended because
it collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI should also be investigated before delivery.
Dirt, static, and EMI can negatively impact system reliability.
